Chateaubriand For Two Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Tenderloin

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the beef tenderloin roast generously with salt and black pepper on all sides. Drizzle olive oil over the roast to coat.

2. 2

   Grill the Beef

   Place the beef tenderloin on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F for medium-rare).

3. 3

   Rest the Meat

   Once cooked, remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

4. 4

   Cook the Vegetables and Mushrooms

   While the beef is resting, steam or blanch the fresh vegetables in salted water until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. In a separate skillet, sauté the sliced mushrooms in a bit of olive oil until browned.

5. 5

   Prepare the Béarnaise Sauce

   In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, white wine vinegar, minced shallots, and chopped tarragon. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk until the mixture thickens. Gradually drizzle in the melted butter while continuing to whisk until smooth. Stir in salt and lemon juice to taste.

6. 6

   Serve

   Carve the rested beef tenderloin table-side. Serve with the sautéed mushrooms, fresh vegetables, and béarnaise sauce on the side.
